3. J. R. Watkins Peppermint Foot Cream. As well as the Lemon lotion. Heavenly! They are inexpensive and look really pretty as gifts too.

4. Shorts. Specifically these from J Crew. A big event in my life this summer has been being brave enough to wear shorts. These are so comfortable and I just love them. I do still feel a little scandalous in something so short though.

Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself. I am new to the blogging world altho I have been a reader for years. I first started reading your blog when you wrote about Greek life. I have 2 girls -one tri delta and one that begins freshman year this month. Your post on Greek life was very comprehensive and really told it like it is. It was great information for a mom who went to a college that didn't have Greek life. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let you know how much I enjoy your blog. http://preppyemptynester.blogspot.com/ KC
